Primary concerns: This facility only has access to Medicaid funding and it is worth pondering whether it cannot accept Medicare payments due to the numerous health and safety violations reported by Medicare along with its one star staff rating. It is very common now for homes owned by for profit entities to operate on skeleton staff levels, which ultimately cause deficiencies in other areas and negatively impact the health and comfort of residents.

Primary concerns: Understaffing is also a serious concern for this facility, which received a one star staff rating and a single star for its quality measures. The quality measures rating is based on how well the home assesses and responds to patient needs with the planning and implementation of treatment strategies based on medical conditions, nutritional requirements and more.

Primary concerns: There isn’t a single area of evaluation that resulted in merits for this nursing center. Its quality measures are greatly lacking, its staff is overworked and worn thin and its health inspection history is appalling.

Primary concerns: It is no surprise that this facility has no access to Medicare funding when considering its reproachable health inspection history, severe understaffing concerns and mediocre quality measures. Patients are surely not considered to be the priority here and your loved one may receive much better care elsewhere.

Primary concerns: A detestable health inspection record coinciding with a one star staff makes it clear that this nursing home cares more about lining corporate pockets than actually rendering the care it charges an exorbitant amount of money for.

Jonathan did a great job helping my family navigate through a lengthy lawsuit involving my grandmother's death in a nursing home. Through every step of the case, Jonathan kept my family informed of the progression of the case. Although our case eventually settled at a mediation, I really was impressed at how well prepared Jonathan was to take the case to trial. Lisa

After I read Jonathan’s Nursing Home Blog, I decided to hire him to look into my wife’s treatment at a local nursing home. Jonathan did a great job explaining the process and the laws that apply to nursing homes. I immediately felt at ease and was glad to have him on my side. Though the lawsuit process was at times frustrating, Jonathan reassured me, particularly at my deposition. I really felt like Jonathan cared about my wife’s best interests, and I think that came across to the lawyers for the nursing home. Eric
